    This.

    Of course the offense isn’t going to work and he’s not going to get as many shots when he does absolutely nothing when he doesn’t have the ball.

    Mf cut, move around do something...anything.

    This deputy dog act can’t be great for team morale. It’s energy draining seeing your best player just stand around when he’s off ball.

    And then has the nerve to not even get back on defense. He’s not crashing the offensive boards AND not getting back on D.

    It’s time to move him. He doesn’t want to be here and he’s not buying in.

    Or be like the Warriors, talk a lot of **** after winning with a stacked team and show no sportsmanship at all.

    No one in their right mind would take MJ and play him at PG.

    Harden is the greatest iso scorer to ever play and Silas solution is to cut his iso's BY HALF.

    Harden is the 3 time scoring champion but Silas rather play him off ball AND HE STILL LEADS TEAM IN ASSISTS????

    Silas said Harden-Wood are going to be like Luka-Porzingas instead Silas is trying to force Wall to be Luka.

    This is crazytown.

    Silas needs to realize Eric Gordon can't dribble, and is probably the worst dribbling guard in the league, or at least close to the bottom. He also has tunnel vision and poor passing skills.

    Nothing good rarely happens if Eric Gordon dribbles more than 4 or 5 times. He needs to strictly be an off-ball scorer who can make 1 or 2 dribbles and charge to the basket.

    That is why the Houston fans do not get it.

    Half of the teams out there know that Harden is a great player but a great player on his own selfish terms.

    Someone who lacks serious leadership but likes to party.

    That is why the packages are not really great and the fact that those teams do not want to part with a true superstar for him.

    This is going to be a very long season unless they just take a mediocre deal.

    It’s 11:13 here, so my next objective is to make sure I get a good lunch to get those coveted dopamines in my system. Thankfully the delivery system here is super robust so I can usually order whatever I’m craving, which today might just be sushi or something. When we have a good win then I’m pumped for the rest of the day but I’ve kind of learned to not let a shitty game affect my mood in a way that’s visible to my co-workers or friends that don’t care about basketball.

    One positive thing about having so much of the day left is that I kind of have to focus on not-the-Rockets so in a way daytime games are way better when we lose.

    I’m really looking forward to when we finally make it over the hump and get that next championship. Something tells me many Clutchfanners all over the world will be making trips to hang out with each other and celebrate the Rockets.

    Chris wood clanging threes off the rim like they going out of style. Maybe we can get one of those analytic types to tell us if we win this game if Wood did not shoot a three.

    In other news Stephen Silas smoked meth before the Lakers game.

    I just want him off the team...I seriously can’t stand him

    he singlehandedly stopped all momentum multiple times with his bonehead play

    the tragic drives to the rim, the dumbass shots, the terrible passes, the screaming to the refs every other possession with that annoying look on his face as he throws his hands in the air

    I can’t take it anymore...get him tf outta Houston, PLEASE

    Harden is asked to be a decoy for John freaking Wall. Silas would be sacked on the spot in any other team for even suggesting that.

    I agree I dont like harden not being able to play his game its stupid. Honestly I was blaming Harden and he is still responsible for the nonsense he pulled preseason but if thats what Silas said he's an idiot.

    Our defense is HORRENDOUS. Like every time the opposing team takes it down the court its a guaranteed basket. Holy **** this is awful. The rockets cant be this bad can they?
